Okay first off, this reviewer is turkish and has been all over turkey for years from small towns to big cities. I stayed in dumps and magnificent 5 star hotels. This book is great for a portable reference (compared to what else is out there) I would also recommend rough guide's Turkey. Furthermore, I hear many people ranting on here about how the book doesn't rate this or is not located where it is. I'm going to be honest check the internet before you go. In Turkey if a website is not offered for a hotel over 80% of the time they are going to be "shady" as far as the people who are there and business, not all turks are friendly. As far as how they rate towns like Kusadasi and Bodrum, people need to understand every town or city has a rundown (ghetto) neighborhood. I've been to places like Kusadasi and find it very nice, but also on that aspect very touristy. Also, some cities exist just for tourism (no real turks live there) such as a city like Kas. Don't believe me then visit and see the ridiculous prices for restaurants and crappy souvenirs. If you want real Turkey this book will help you find it, but expect a few inaccuracies just because its written by a team of "westerners" who can't figure out which way is which in Turkey, direction wise. Most likely for the reasons of having pensions listed in the book with a map and location but not located where they are once you get where this book tells you.
So TRAVELERS understand ONE THING!!! Turkey is NOT England or USA Turkey is not far from a Third world country, a second world country possibly. You will find frequent power outages, inadequate roads, transportation is great in Turkey, but understand that staying at a pension in Turkey is not like staying in a pension in America or a hostel in Germany. You will get shady characters and sometimes bad business. In turkey there is glamour but on the beaten path expect wires hanging in the shower and expect small basic rooms, not no dang Hilton everywhere you go. So enjoy this book and enjoy Turkey but please keep an open mind and PLAN before you go stay at a pension that doesn't have a website or doesn't have even pictures online. Use this book along with [...] and you will have a better trip.
Sorry for the ranting...
